MeAdOw LAKE

For the 24th (which is a utah holiday, who knew !!) brock and i went camping with my family and the lunds. while we were there there was this huge mountain that we decided to climb. we all thought that it was going to take us hours and hours and hours so we packed about a whole case of water bottles in a couple of bags and started heading up. On our way up we discovered that dexter is not completely human, in fact he has some mountain goat in him. he flew up the mountain like it was nothing and all of the rest of us (brock, me, christine, and eden) struggled to keep up with him. it actually only ended up taking us about 45 minutes to really get to the top. On the way down we were just on slate rock which is very slippery, and with every step that you took you went down about 4 feet. after we got the hang of it, it actually was kind of fun. brock yelled the whole way down "WATCH OUT AVALANCHE !!!"

Later that night we were looking up the mountains and saw that there were some mountain goats up at the top. we decided that it would be fun to see how close we could get to them. This time it was Britni, Christ, Eden, Madeleine, and me and brock. Oh and dexter also came but took a different way and basically just ran straight up and scared them all away before we got to them (hence why we think he is part mountain goat.) We had a really good time. One night as we sat around the camp fire we got my dad and scott to karaoke with us, which was you put the ipod in your ear turn it up so you cant hear a thing and sing. My dad's song of choice was of course Celine Dions "im your lady" and scotts was the exact opposite " summer of 69."

Just down the road from Meadow lake is this small little abandoned mining town called gilmore. we went down to the ruins and took some pictures. The pictures that were taken on the bridge were pretty scary it was not very sturdy. In one of them you can see that brock has pulled me to try and startle me into thinking i was going to fall, and let me tell you it worked. we were about 20 feet in the air. besides that it was a pretty cool place.

You know you are getting old if........

Last night brock and i went to the park last night to "study" (Brock is easily distracted and inhibited my studies immensely) Just as it was starting to get dark we were walking back to our car and i suggested that we swing on the swings for a little bit. so we did. Brock started twisting back and forth like he said he did when he was a kid. Next thing i know brock had stopped swinging and was saying he was getting sick. so we headed over to the little mary-go-round thingy and i let him push me on that, as it was spinning i crawled over to the other side. Brock wanted to try so i pushed him while he tried to crawl to the other side. We were giggling our heads off and just as he reached the other side he says Haili stop this thing stop it I am going to throw up. All i could do was laugh my head off!!! to say the least brock was sick all night. and we have discovered that we are getting old, and we cant quite do the same things we used to do when we were "kids"
